THE breath of a chronic catarrh pa
tient is often so offensive that he CAM
not 90 into society and he becomes an
object of disgust. After time ulcera~
tion sets in, the spongy bones are at
tackled and frequently destroyed. A
constant source of discomfort is the
dripping of the purulent secretions into
the throat sometimes producing iDvet-
crate bronchitis. which in its turn has
been the exciting cause of pulmonary
disease. The brilliant results which
have attended its use for years past
properly designate Ely's Cream Balm as
byfar the best and only real cure. 2t

NEW JERSEY SAND.
Its rransmutation into California Gold
at the Long Branch"

at the Long Branch"
After the war of 1851 was over these peace
full villagers, who, having contributed their
part toward it, were just settling down again
for another fifty years nap, were awakened
again by certain capitalists, who bought up
all the cheap land they could find within
sight, smell or sound of the ocean, and pro-
ceeded to invest money in it. Our old school
speakers contained an affecting poem about
little Alfred, or Charley, or some similarly
named child, who found a shilling coming
home from school one day, and exclaimed,
aTll have a fortune, for III plant it right
away" These capitalists initiated little AL
fred or Charley, with much better luck
They planted not shilling, but thousands OF
dollars here in the sand; they seeded these
acres Of the shore with more money than
Capt Kidd has ever been proved to have
buried anywhere, and they finally have har-
vested large area Of golden financial " heat.
One of their first shrewd methods Of tillage
was to make their new, struggling, one
streeted town the summer capital CT the
United States. They built miniature White
House near the edge of the sea and invited
President Grant to live there two months il
the year. He came, with that simplicity OF
greatness which never enjoys pleasure any
abe less because it happens to be source OF
profit to others The "iong branch Of
Shrewsbury river, which gave name to the
whole locality because it had its arm half
way round the older town, leaped in one sea-
son into world wide fame.
The old war chief of a hemisphere settled
down here with as little ostentation as he now
rests in Riverside park; but there were plenty
of commonplace people, with commonplace
wealth, willing to furnish all the style neces-
sary for such village, and to see that the
new town was well painted with gorgeous
colors Many of the dollars that had been
planted in the pulverized gravel Of the shore
grew into gold bearing roof trees. The cities
brought here their hotel iuxuries for sale;
money drawers were opened wide for sum-
mer snow storms of bank notes, and fortunes
were made here. between spring and autumn.

A Big New York Restaurant.

There is cheap restaurant in New York
that feeds 5000 people dayl 1t is never
closed. night nor day, and has three different
relays of walters, cooks, cleaners, cashiers
and other hands. 1t is not noted in the city,
but is famous in all the country towns and
villages in this state, New Jersey and Con-
necticut, which are its chief source of patron
age. How many reservoirs of soup and how
many tons Of beef it consumes daily are mat
tiers for the consideration of metropolitan
correspondents of country newspapers. But
the figures are astounding and interesting
without sensational elaboration. - Good

Manufacture of Tin Cans.

A striking instance of labor saving machin-
cry is that which makes tin cans. One of the
machines used in the process soldiers the Ion
gitudinal seams of the cans at the rate of fifty
a minute, the cans rushing along in a contin-
uous stream; of course drop or two of
solder is left on the can. The drop on the
outside is easily wiped off, but it is not so easy
to secure the drop left on the inside. An in
genious workman has patented an arrange
ment for wiping the inside of the can without
stopping the machinery. Result, several
thousand dollars in royalties in his own
pocket and saving of SIS worth of solder
per day to the firm that uses it. Thirty thou
sand cars is days work for this machine

A Marketable Husband.

In Siam a man who has sold himself at
gambling can compel his wife, if she has the
money, to redeem him, but ne thereupon be-
comes her property and chattel. This is
very equitable arrangement. The wife, if
she desires, can sell her husband off, along
with his summer pah'ben, for plaster of
paris image of Bismarck or a spotted dog.
And we are not surprised woman with such
a husband should so desire, as was proved the
other day when Ne Sa-.:;it exchanged her
better half for share in a house near Wat
Chang, a COW and twenty ticals in silver

Senator Sherman only glances over the

longer than this, he says, II Is not

read everything that Is published.
Senator Sherman has a very

scrap books which contain newspaper

strange enough, 1t is said that he Is
fond OF French novels. His old friend,

Colonel Hinton and his wife Isabella

people who arc connected with the
Socialistic cause, says the New York

in the use of language in expressing
their condemnation of the police. Mrs.
Hinton Is extremely nervous, but she
does not indulge in anything stronger
than "vile things" "inhuman brutes,"
"merciless wretches." in referring to
the police of Chicago. She is one of
the best friends that Citizen Train has,
and he says that she Is complete
Psyche. Her husband, however, is
almost uncomfortable when In passion
and the cause of those whom he thinks
are oppressed is being discussed. "The

he was wont to say of the Chicago
police. II have fought for the liberty
of this country once, and am willing
